“I don’t play silly games.” I pouted, and he leaned forward and kissed my lips.
“Yes, you do, Alice.” His fingers ran down my cheek. “And for some reason, I decided that I needed to join you at your own game. So I hired Elizabeth.” He smiled at me, but I didn’t return his look of adoration. “We decided to do some fake Facebook flirting to trap you, then she sent me some fake texts, I talked about some fake dates, invited her to the football game, which was Xander’s idea by the way, and waited for you to take the bait.”
“I thought you were dating her as well,” I growled. “I was so upset and angry and confused and … Argh.” I poked him in the chest. “That was a horrible thing to do.”
“I just wanted to see if you would be jealous,” he said. “And I wanted you to see how stupid and childish it is to fake relationships and stuff to try and make someone jealous.”
“Whatever.” I looked away from him, still feeling angry, but also feeling overwhelmingly happy. He didn’t like Elizabeth! I was over the moon at the truth.
“I’m sorry, Alice,” he muttered. “Can you forgive me?”
“Why did you do it, Aiden?” I looked at him and searched his face. “Did you just want to have one over on me?”
“Are you dense, Alice?” He looked at me in shock. “I like you. I have feelings for you. I’ve had feelings for you for a long time. I had a feeling you felt the same, but I wanted to make sure you were mature enough for a relationship. And I wanted to make sure that this was something you wanted.”
“You like me?” I grinned at him.
“I maybe more than like you.” He grinned back and kissed me again.
“Maybe?”
“More than maybe,” he said with a laugh. “I just don’t want to be your best friend’s sleazy older brother.”
“You’re not sleazy—well, not very sleazy.” I grinned.
“Not very sleazy?”
“Well, you know.” I grinned again. “You are here with me, naked, in a BDSM store.”
“Alice, that goes both ways.” He laughed. “So, are you sleazy too?”
“Well, I only came here for you.” I blushed. “I wanted you to know that I’d be down with trying your alternative lifestyle.”
“About that.” He made a face, and my stomach turned slightly.
“Oh God, what now?” I asked, worried. “Don’t tell me you’re a member of a sex club for real?”
“What?” He laughed. “Not at all, Alice. You know you really have an overactive imagination.”
“So what is it you need to tell me now?” I poked him in the chest.
“So, I’m kinda not a Dom.” He put his hands up. “Don’t kill me.”
“What do you mean?” I frowned. “Xander told me that …” My voice trailed off as I realized that I’d been set up. “That was a lie as well?”
“Yeah.” Aiden nodded with a rueful smile on his face. “Xander thought it would be funny.”
“Funny?”
“Yeah.” Aiden laughed. “He thought it would be interesting to see what you thought up.”
“So I let you spank me for fun?” I groaned. “And I called you Sir.”
“I liked you calling me Sir.” He winked. “You can call me that whenever you want.”
“Uh huh.”
“And I can spank you whenever you want as well.” He reached over and played with my breasts. “In fact, we can do whatever experimentation you want.”
“Can I get a strap-on and—”
“No.” He cut me off right away and laughed. “Anything but that. There is no way in hell you’re using a strap-on on me.”
“Aww.” I laughed. “What other experimentation are you thinking about, then?”
“Well, I wouldn’t mind using a pinwheel.” He ran his fingernails across my nipples. “And maybe some anal beads.”
“Anal beads?” I raised my eyebrows at him and his eyes glittered at me.
“Anal beads and vibrators and anything else we want.” He moved back on top of me. “Anything you’re comfortable with.”
“I think I can be comfortable with a lot of things,” I whispered against his lips as he entered me again. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he groaned as he moved inside of me, his cock seeming to go deeper and deeper with each thrust.
“Good, because I plan on us doing a lot of experimenting.” He slammed into me and leaned down and sucked on my nipples. “And who knows, maybe one day I’ll even end up being your Dom.”
“Or maybe one day I’ll end up being yours.” I growled and reached up and slapped his ass hard.
Chapter Thirteen
Text Sex or Phone Sex?
“Get out of town!” Liv looked shocked as I finished telling her about my night with Aiden. “I’m going to kill Xander. I can’t believe he was a part of this plan and didn’t tell me a thing.”
“Crazy, right?” I beamed at her. I was so happy that Aiden and I were finally being honest with each other that I couldn’t hide my excitement.
“Uhm, more than crazy.” Liz sat on my bed and giggled. “I can’t believe that Aiden did this. I knew there was no way in hell that he was a Dom.”
“Well, he could be one. Trust me.” I shivered. “You should have seen the way he took me over his knee.”
“I have to be honest, I’m not sad that I don’t have to see that.” Liv grinned at me. “Not trying to be mean, but it still freaks me out knowing you two are sleeping together.”
“We don’t do much sleeping.” I laughed and she groaned. “What can I say, but he’s dynamite in bed.”
“So what happened after he admitted he’d been lying about Elizabeth, which is pretty ingenious in a way?”
“Well, I told him off a bit.” I laughed. “And that’s when he told me that he made up the BDSM stuff as well.”
“Xander is so tricky.” She shook her head. “I bet he knew all along that you would tell me right away.”
“Yeah, I think that as well. I mean, it just doesn’t seem reasonable that he would think I didn’t tell you.”
“So that means he knew that I knew all along,” Liv groaned. “I’m going to get him back for that.”
“Oh? How?”
“I’m going to handcuff him to the bed tonight.” She grinned. “And then tease him. Let’s see how much he likes handcuffs then.”
“Oh, Liv!” I laughed.
“He needs to be punished.” She grinned again. “And what better way than from a budding Domme wannabe?”
“You don’t want to be a Domme, though.”
“He doesn’t have to know that.”
“Oh, Liv, you’re so bad.”
“I know.” She giggled. “I’m a bad, bad girl.”
“That’s what I said to Aiden last night.” I laughed.
“About me?” She looked confused.
“No, about me.” I grinned. “We really got into the role-playing. I think I’m going to ask him to rent a policeman’s uniform, and I’ll be the criminal he’s interrogating.”
“Uh, okay.” Alice laughed.
“And then maybe I’ll be an escort and he can be my John and we can meet up at a hotel bar and he can pretend he’s picking me up.”
“You do know that prostitution is illegal and if someone thinks you guys are for real, you might get arrested?”
“We’ll be fine. He’s a lawyer.” I grinned. “He can get us out of it if that were to happen.”
“You’re crazy, Alice.”
“Well, so is Aiden. And he likes my crazy. Well, some of my crazy, at least.”
“So what happens next?” She grinned and her stomach grumbled. “And do you want to go out to dinner?”
“Yes, let’s go and get some fried chicken. I’ve been craving it.” I nodded. “Hold on, let me change real quick.”
“Okay.” She nodded and followed me to my room. “So you and Aiden are official now?”
“No,” I said and sighed as I opened my closet door. “He didn’t really say anything about us being in a relationship. He didn’t ask me to be his girlfriend or his wife.”
“Alice, he’s not going to propose just because you had sex.”
“I know that.” I rolled my eyes. “He didn’t propose years ago, either. I guess I just hoped he would say something about us being more official, you know.”
